This is a 1682 map titled *A New Map of the Country of Carolina*, made when the English colony was still young. King Charles II had granted the territory in 1663 to eight Lords Proprietors, and maps of the period mixed surveyed coastline with a great deal of guesswork about the interior. The Great Smoky Mountains lie far inland, so they may appear only as vague ranges, if at all, which reflects how little European settlers had explored there. Its value today lies in showing what colonial officials and investors believed the land contained.
